A LIVELY SMELLING
AT LONG RANGE
PROMISED.
John J.Iittleton, Editor Of
the National Review. And
J. G. Cisco, Editor Of
the Forked Deer Blade
Get up 8 Personal
Eusilade over the
John J. Littl5tcn Circular Sent cut
10 vaI;ous SsciloEs Of the State
Few Days Before tns
Prohibition Election.

Mr.. Lhttieton charged in his issue
of two weeks ago that Mr.: Cisco,
editor of the Jackson Blade, was
either the author and finiaher Of
the Republican, circular forgery or
ras an accomplice thereto. Mr..
/ Littieton used some very strong and !
calling language in speaking of
Air Cisco. Sueh as "scalawag, |
torgerer, sceenY scamp" etc. Little
ton cISims that he has proof sufh
cient to cinch the matter on Mr..
Cisco. Mr.. Cisco in last weeks
Blade comes back at him in the
follow ng vigorous English i:
''A fellow by the name of Little
ton, who edits filthy sheet called
thee National Review, published in
! Nashville, accuses me of being the
author Of a certain circular and
letter bearing his name, sent out
over the State few days before
the election on the prohibition
amendment. In reply, [ have
this to say. IF Littleton, or any
other person, says, or InslnuateS
that am the author, or that l know
who was the author Of said circulars,
: he or they utter that which he OF
they know to be false, an Infamous
lie. 1 came in possession of these
papers few days before the cleo
ton, AMI believing as l still believe,
notwithstanding his denial, that that
, fellow LIttleton was the author, l
made use of them to Illustrate his
base designs, and put them where
| thought they would do the mos
good, as l had a right to do l die
L send them to different persons to
the purpose of exposing the schsme
n OF Littleton, the dirty tool OF
sd whisky ring, and I will now ask tn
m clustering blackguard what he I
Ii- going to do about it,
u 1t is pretty ges orally believed
CHI Tennessee that renegade LIttletol
ial who b9lted the democratic state col
r. vention in 1884. sold cut to tn
n wbiskey ring during the late can
"ii paign, for which he Is cOndemne
N. by the respectable members 0f n
re- party. To clear himself from tn
as dirty record he resorts to bluste
Ia and bombast, to throw suspicion g
somebody else, but his bullying VI
7ie MT win with me.
eir Littlston is known in Tsnness'
md as a base renegade and scalaWag,
erp man without honor, principle or d
- cency, one who has the contem
u" of all decent people, and the respe'
vs. OF none, and if had written su
Ste documents [ would have pat /
net name Of 8 gentleman to them, a
tile not that of a contemplate blac
to- guard and blatherskito. mt
he apologize to the readers of the Bla
Ia for noticing this creature, and on
OF do SO that I may Eeud mark
uId copies" to the press Of Tennesse
by and elsewhere. Outside the new
'ing paper offices, where his indece
,ver sheet is received as an exchan2
z Of he has few readers whom [ care
app reach. / would not thus public
the denouuce the scoundrel, only he h
hey made grave charge against
and and asks me to make a public c
lent nIapation. / hope he will be st
lsGed with my ''explanatiOn."
tho Lttleton may repudiate the let
-, and circular, but, knowing his ch
acter, it will be "cold day
na11 August" when he succeeds in m'
e.. Ing any one believe that they
81 not the product OF his fertile bra
L. Tne members Of his party, war;
him IL tho beginning Of the ca
o. paign against making an ass
.ar himself, but it was in him, and
nat could not suppress it. In conc
,,ora sion l repeat that when Little
a,,I insInuates that wrote the circul'
=. he lies uiIfully and maliciously.
